How To Transmit Genital Warts

First of all I have to apologize for the dryness of my hands. I did this swatches during a very cold day (after a cold week) so they were quite ugly (my hand always suffer during winter, even if I cover them with lotion and shea butter every evening and during the day, too).
Concerning the polish, it's a nice light green with a foil-ish finish, but it's quite fluid and sheer and it requires at least three coats (in my pictures) to be opaque. I wish it was more pigmented.

First, I apologize for the condition of my hands in the photos. It was a sunny but cold (freezing after a week) and my hands suffer terribly during the winter (even if I line them every night - and even during the day - with tons of creams and shea butter). So ignore what's around and concentrate on a pale green glaze :-) almost foil, unfortunately, fairly liquid and transparent, three hands for the photographic results, I would have liked to be more intense.

Back again with some green: this is a discountinued Essence shimmer, a dark "pine green" very intense and pigmented. Easy application, polish is quite dense and one coat is enough; on my pointer finger I had to apply another one just because I messed it during drying, so that nail is slightly darker. 
Lovely, but now that finally I've tried it, I have to put it back, waiting for the next fall/winter (this happens when you buy more than you swatch :-)).

Arieccomi with the greens, this is a shimmer Essence Out of print (ok, who have removed almost all colors except the last), super deep and pigmented. I do not know what to call it, "forest green"? The writing is excellent, the glaze is thick and just one pass, the index I had to give it two because I messed up (you see that is a bit 'darker). Now that I swatch I can put it back on, until the next fall / winter does not serve me (that's what happens when you buy too many glazes, I can not keep up with the seasons)!
